To Fluid Film, or not to??

I finally have a blade thats worth something, and I want to protect it. In the past, I've always just given the blade a healthy dose of WD40. Is there a big benifit to FF? Whats it cost? Is it worth it? What do you guys think about it?

There is no comparison at all hardly between the 2 products.Wd-40 is a ''rust-buster'' type product while FF is a ''rust preventer'' type,besides ALSO being a great lubricant.The WD40 will wash off almost immediately while FF will stay on a very long time.I just got a fantastic deal for a case from McMasters for app.$5 a can with shipping.

Good to know.
Whats the process, just clean the blade, and spray everything?

I usually apply fluid film 3 times a year- Start with a clean, dry blade. Before the start of every season I spray the whole blade(s) and headgear, get all the nooks and crannies and electrical connections. Usually during the January thaw I'll hit them again, and then a wash and coat before they go to sleep in the garage for the summer. I also coat both my trucks front to back underneath, special attention paid to usual rust prone areas; wheelwells, rockers, bottom of doors etc. The stuff works great.

Oh believe me, I yell at my computer from time to time with some of the grammar errors on here... Idk, it might just be because the breaks on my trailor arent working and i need to fix my duel batterys

Edit:By the way MrBachand, did you use Rustoleum Sunburst Yellow on your plow?
